Jennifer’s Body star Amanda Seyfried recently kept it coy regarding whether the long-awaited sequel was finally happening. Variety’s “Actor on Actor” series brings confirmation from Seyfried that a sequel is in the works, and touches on co-star Megan Fox’s involvement.
Seyfried, who plays protagonist Needy in director Karyn Kusama and writer Diablo Cody’s teen horror movie, sat down with her Jennifer’s Body co-star Adam Brody to chat about their careers and history together. The pair first met on set of the Kusama-directed horror movie.
In Jennifer’s Body, a newly-possessed high school cheerleader turns into a succubus who specializes in killing her male classmates, leaving it up to her best friend to put an end to the horror.
“We’re making another [“Jennifer’s Body”]. Are you going to do it?” Seyfried asks Brody in the exchange.
Brody, who played the villainous singer of the Satanic band Low Shoulder, replied, “I heard. I wasn’t contacted. I died [in the first one].”
“So did Megan Fox, and I’m not doing it without her,” Seyfried retorts.
Fox played the titular character, Jennifer, who was sacrificed by Low Shoulder for fame only to return a man-eating demon.
What’s interesting about this brief snippet in their interview is that not only is Seyfried taking a more definitive stance on whether a sequel is in development but she’s adamant about Fox returning. While it seems less likely that Brody’s minor supporting character would return, it’s too early to tell.
Writer Diablo Cody told Bloody Disgusting last year that she wants to make a sequel. “I am not done with Jennifer’s Body… I need to partner with people who believe it in as much as I do and that hasn’t really happened yet. I need someone to believe in it who has a billion dollars.” Cody also stated that Lisa Frankenstein is set in the same universe as Jennifer’s Body.
Stay tuned.
